Frequently Asked Questions: Málaga Airport Transfers
At MalagaCabbie, our streamlined reservation system ensures your chauffeur is precisely where they need to be at the exact moment you land. We utilize professional logistics management and manually reconfirm every service 24 hours in advance to guarantee a flawless experience. Your peace of mind is our priority as you travel across the Costa del Sol.
Do I need to provide credit card details to secure a booking?
No. Booking with MalagaCabbie is simple and risk-free. You can reserve your transfer via WhatsApp or our online form without sharing sensitive bank information. Payment is only settled at the end of your trip, paid directly to your driver in cash or by card.
How can I be certain my driver will arrive on time?
A confirmed booking with us is a guarantee of service. To give you total confidence, we send a reconfirmation the day before your trip, including the driver’s direct contact number and vehicle details. This proactive communication ensures a smooth connection at the airport.
Which vehicle type is best for my group?
When selecting a vehicle, please consider both the passenger count and the volume of luggage. While we guarantee the specific car class you book, we can only ensure all items fit if we are informed of your requirements beforehand. Our diverse fleet includes:
- Standard Sedans for light travel.
- Station Wagons (perfect for 4 large suitcases).
- Executive Minivans and 7-seaters.
- Large Minibuses and full-sized coaches for groups up to 55 people.
Do infants and babies count as passengers?
Yes, they do. For safety and legal reasons, infants always count toward the vehicle’s capacity. Holding a child on your lap is strictly prohibited under Spanish traffic regulations. MalagaCabbie provides specialized child seats upon request; please ensure you specify the child’s age/size during booking so we can equip your vehicle correctly.
How will I receive confirmation of my reservation?
Immediately after booking, you will receive an automated notification confirming your request has reached us. Shortly after, during our standard business hours, our team will send a secondary, personalized confirmation once your transfer has been officially scheduled in our system.
Is there a 24/7 emergency contact number?
Yes. For urgent matters or last-minute flight changes, we provide an emergency assistance number (+34 614 16 31 61) in your booking confirmation. Our team is available to support you whenever you are traveling.

Before the trip
What is your cancellation policy?
You are free to cancel your reservation at any time without any fees. However, to help us manage our fleet effectively, we kindly request a minimum of 24 hours’ notice. Late cancellations or no-shows impact our ability to serve other travelers who may have needed that time slot. Providing us with early notice ensures we can continue offering a reliable and high-quality service to everyone.
Can I modify my pickup time or vehicle type after booking?
Absolutely. You can request changes to your booking whenever necessary. For the best chance of accommodating your new requirements, please try to notify us at least 24 hours before your trip. If you have an urgent last-minute change, contact us immediately and we will do everything possible to adjust your schedule, though availability may be limited during peak hours.
Visiting from the USA or overseas?
Navigating international transport customs can be tricky. To make your arrival at AGP as smooth as possible, we have created a dedicated resource for our international guests.

Once at the airport
My flight is delayed — will my driver still be waiting?
Absolutely. At MalagaCabbie, we monitor all incoming flights in real time. Regardless of how long your delay lasts, your chauffeur will be waiting in the arrivals hall the moment you land. You don’t need to worry about updating us on minor schedule changes; we’ve got it covered.
How will I recognize my chauffeur?
Your driver will be stationed in the Terminal 3 arrivals hall, holding a clear sign with your name on it. This area is the mandatory exit for all passengers after luggage collection. As you walk through the sliding doors into the public hall, look for the designated meeting point where professional drivers wait. Your chauffeur will be there to offer a warm welcome and assist with your bags.
What should I do if I can’t immediately see my driver?
During peak summer months, the Málaga Airport arrivals hall can become very crowded. If you don’t spot your name sign right away, please stay calm. Simply call your driver directly using the number provided in your reconfirmation message, or contact our support team via WhatsApp at +34 614 16 31 61.
Do I need to present a physical booking confirmation?
While a printed copy isn’t necessary, having the confirmation ready on your phone is highly recommended. This helps verify that you are with the correct driver—especially if there are other passengers with similar names—and allows the driver to double-check your destination details.
What if my luggage is delayed or I’m stuck at passport control?
We offer 60 minutes of complimentary waiting time starting from the moment your plane touches down. If you encounter issues with lost luggage or long queues at immigration, please send us a quick text or call your driver as soon as possible. Communication is key; if we haven’t heard from you after the 60-minute window, the service may be marked as a no-show.

After the trip
Should I tip the chauffeur?
In Spain, tipping is entirely optional and never mandatory. However, it is a common way to show appreciation for exceptional service. If you are pleased with your journey and your driver’s assistance, any gratuity you choose to offer will be warmly received—100% of tips go directly to our drivers as a personal thank-you for their dedication.
